Hunter's First Carrots!

We have been trying rice cereal for the past few weeks with little/no success. He would spit all of it out and make a terrible face. So, we decided to give him his first carrots last night and he loved them! Here is a video of it!

Hunter is sleeping better!

Well, After about 3 weeks of Hunter NOT sleeping all night, the day Josh came home from his job, Hunter FINALLY STTN again! WAHOO! It was awesome! Last night he only woke up once...I can handle that!

Follow up to 4 month shots - Hunter's fever got up to 100.1, and I was TERRIFIED! That only lasted for about 30 minutes, and then it dropped back down to normal. I never knew how scared I would be when my little guy wasn't feeling so well. That was the worst thing ever!

4 Month Well Baby Visit

Hunter's 4 month check-up was today! I always look forward to going to the pediatrician because I think of so many questions between visits. He weighs 15.94 (63rd percentile), is 24 1/4 inches long (19th percentile) and his head circumference is 16.5 (34th percentile). Everything is looking good and we have the go ahead for starting solids. We will be starting rice cereal this later this week. We will start with 2 teaspoons breast milk and work our way up from there. After about a week of that, we can start introducing stage 1 veggies one at a time for 3-5 days to make sure he doesn't have any allergies. I think we will start with carrots first, then alternate between orange/yellow and green veggies until we have been through all of them. After we have been through the veggies, we will move on to fruits continuing the 3-5 day test period. Once we have finished all of the Stage 1 foods, we will move on to Stage 2!

After his check up, he had to get his 4 month shots. Shots=terrible! At his 2 month appt, you couldn't even tell he had gotten the shots, but this time was MUCH worse. He screamed and screamed. It was not fun! He has been very fussy all afternoon. I finally got him down for a nap and he slept for about 2 hours.

I hear him now......

Crafting

Jess and Ihad SO much fun this weekend!! We started on Friday with some shopping. Jess has started quilting and I am getting super interested in it! Since my mom finished my fun quilt for my guest room/craft room, I have been thinking about it, but going shopping with Jess topped of my interest. At our last gift shop we stopped at, we found THE cutest personalized decoupaged canvas' that sold for $32!!! So, instead of paying for them, we went to Hobby Lobby and spent a while making our own! We are so excited about them. I really want to start doing craft shows and I think that these things might be one of my projects!

I had just put Hunter back to bed, but as I look at the monitor, he is wide awake again....here we go again!

I'm Tired

Well, we had a great day!...until....it was time for bed. Hunter screamed for a REALLY long time! Jess came to town to visit. Hopefully Hunter won't scream the whole time she is here :-) We are going shopping tomorrow, screaming or not! Good night! (I just said I was going to write daily....I didn't say it would be good!)

Digital Scrapbooking

Here are some of my layouts!

Maybe our worst night yet....

Last night was TERRIBLE. Hunter went to sleep at 9:45ish, so I put him down in the crib without the carseat. at 11:45, he was wide awake. I got him out of bed, and he was asleep again within 25 minutes. I put him back down...in the carseat this time. He was awake 30 minutes later. I got him back to sleep and he woke up AGAIN at 4:15. He went back to sleep at 4:45. At 7:15 he is wide awake again, so I unswaddled him and brought him to bed with me where he slept until 8:30......I NEED a nap!!!
